I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there’s games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were “saved” by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding communities? What are some of your favorite mods?
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion has a lot of love and care put into mods. Being a sci-fi game, plenty of Star Trek / Star Wars / etc. conversions that do more than just reskin the models.
